The only things in the your list Greg that were missing from the 5 series was the super cooling and fast download speed everything else QSI had been doing. Not to mention QSI moved into this market from scientific imaging, which they had been doing for nearly 30 years. The QSI cameras are small for a reason; that being so it fits on a microscope. It had nothing to do with astronomy and that was just a happy by-product. The electronics produce quality results because scientific imaging requires that standard. Again just another happy by-product.
I have quizzed Kevin from QSI several times about their products and where they have come from. Each time I was met with professional and informative information. The company has an interesting background and is keen to corner a niche within this market. The way the camera is put together and its design is what made me buy the 6 series.
